iPhones, BlackBerrys and other smartphones have made it remarkably easy for us to share photos on sites like Facebook and Flickr. But they've made it a lot easier for cyberstalkers to track us, as well. That's because many digital photos contain a kind of encoded data known as Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF).

On Monday, newspapers in Israel ran a series of photographs, featuring an Israeli soldier posing childishly next to blindfolded and handcuffed Palestinian prisoners. The photos, which were taken by former Israeli soldier Eden Abergil in 2008, were posted on her Facebook page in an album titled 'Army -- the best period of my life.' Once the pics were discovered and published, Abergil soon found ...

As any fan of 'The Wire' can tell you, clearly identifying criminal targets can be one of the most arduous tasks investigators face. Unlike Jimmy McNulty's Baltimore department, though, Brockton, Massachusetts police will soon be able to skip the whole wiretap, fiber-optics camera routine, thanks to a new iPhone app. The new system, called MORIS (Mobile Offender Recognition and Identification ...

If Indiana police's charges are true, George Helms collected identification cards like baseball cards. When it came to his alleged identity-theft scam, Helms seemed to be a careful man, but he didn't account for a new software program when he walked into the Hobart, Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV).

Unfortunately, the only way to add generic RSS feeds is by using FrameChannel, and ...

We've all seen it, or been guilty of doing it ourselves: a perfectly good group photo ruined by someone blinking. Photography blog MalekTips has some suggestions for how to avoid this snapshot-destroying impulse. The easiest technique is to take more than one photograph when using the flash, which will allow your subjects' eyes to adjust to the bright burst of light. MalekTips also suggests ...

If you're anything like most people, you like to say you're going to do something, but rarely follow through. Some of us can't even remember to do simple things like take the photos off our digital camera and send them to people, much less share them on a site like Flickr or Picasa. Sometimes we're just too lazy or disorganized to find that dang USB cord tor memory card reader to transfer ...

Pro photographer Patrice Elmi has no need for fancy equipment as long as she's got her cell phone on her. "I used to shoot with a 35 mm Nikon, and I used to carry it around with me all the time in my backpack," says Elmi, who studied photography at both the School of Visual Arts and the Pratt Institute in New York City. "So this one time I forgot it -- we were heading to dinner, and all I had was ...

How often does this happen to you? You wake up after a long night of hard, hard drinking. Head hurts, you smell like a landfill and the guy from 'Memento' could do a better job than you of remembering what happened last night.
